A method of setting color processing parameters for a digital imaging apparatus includes connecting a computer via a communication path to a digital imaging apparatus that produces color image data through color processing performed by a color processing unit on image data taken by an imaging device, setting, in the computer, parameters for use in the color processing, transferring the parameters from the computer to the digital imaging apparatus via the communication path, causing the color processing unit to perform color processing based on the parameters under control of an emulator that operates in the digital imaging apparatus, and storing, in memory, color image data generated by the color processing based on the parameters.

Setting of color processing parameters for digital imaging apparatus

A focusing apparatus includes a first sensor and a second sensor configured to receive an optical image of a target workpiece to be inspected and convert it photoelectrically, a first optical system configured to make the optical image be focused on the first sensor, a second optical system configured to branch the optical image from the first optical system and to make a branched optical image be focused on the second sensor, a focus detection part configured to input a first image signal photoelectrically converted by the first sensor and a second image signal photoelectrically converted by the second sensor and to detect a focus position of the optical image by using high frequency components of the first image signal and the second image signal, and a focus control part configured to control a focus of the first optical system based on the focus position detected by the focus detection part.

Focusing apparatus, focusing method, and inspection apparatus

A focusing device comprises a first imaging optical system, a second imaging optical system which splits the optical image in the direction of an AF sensor and further splits the optical image so that a front focus image in which the point that is in focus is in front of the optical image on the inspecting sensor and a back focus image in which the point that is in focus is behind the optical image on the inspecting sensor are formed on the AF sensor, a focus detecting circuit which detects an optimum focus position on the basis of a high-frequency component of a front sensor image in a front focus position and a high-frequency component of a back sensor image in a back focus position, and a focus control circuit which controls the focusing of the first imaging optical system on the basis of the focus position.

Focusing device, focusing method and a pattern inspecting apparatus

A character reader device of the present invention is capable of reading as read data characters written in a portion corresponding to a given read field on a manuscript; detecting a reject character in the read data; generating a pattern image corresponding to the reject character; displaying the read data, the reject character, and the pattern image; computing the position of a display area for the read data; deciding whether or not the computed display area is overlapped with the display area for the pattern image; shifting the pattern image to the area which is the outside of the display area for the read data if overlapped; and displaying it on the latter area. The character reader device can therefore prevent a disadvantage in modifying the reject character if the display area for the pattern image of the reject character is overlapped with the display area for the read data of the read field including the reject field by shifting the display area for the pattern image to another area and thereby modify the reject character more efficiently.

A character reader device of the present invention is capable of reading as read data characters written in a portion corresponding to a given read field on a manuscript, detecting a reject character in the read data, generating a pattern image corresponding to the reject character, displaying the read data, the reject character and the pattern image, computing the position of a display area for the read data, deciding whether or not the computed display area is overlapped with the display area for the pattern image shifting the pattern image to the area which is the outside of the display area for the read data if overlapped and displaying it on the latter area.
